Avid Learning, in collaboration with Mumbai Press Club, presents The Future of News: Decoding Journalism in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

Earlier this year, Il Foglio, an Italian daily, made headlines by becoming the first newspaper in the world to publish an entire edition created by artificial intelligence. From headlines to humour, every word was crafted by code. When media establishments across the globe are flirting with automation and AI-enhanced storytelling, the question is not if journalism will transform, but how fast. As algorithms take a seat at the editorial table, a new era of newsmaking is already underway.

In the next episode of Avid Learning's ‘AI and Arts’ series, we turn our attention to the intersection of AI and journalism, diving into how technology is reshaping the way news is created, consumed, and shared. Led by Co-founder and CEO, Narrative Research Lab Sundeep Narwani, this lecture demonstration will present real-world applications and dissect the tools driving these changes, from AI-assisted content creation and data-led visual storytelling to faceless video creation and avatar-led presentation. The session will explore how editorial workflows are being reimagined through automation, including the use of AI for analysing court and parliamentary documents. Alongside these case studies, it will also offer insight into the deeper ethical considerations, including questions of accuracy, bias, and accountability.

A thought-provoking session that explores the changing face of journalism in the age of intelligent machines and what it means for the future of information.
